Hole in one

Philip’s first Ace

Congratulations go to Philip Helliar this week on achieving his first hole in one. Playing with Tony Finney, Philip aced the 9th hole at The Links using his favourite hybrid. Many congratulations on your amazing feat, especially with the upturned holes. Well played.

New glove, anyone?

As a sport, golf has been given the green light ahead of the vast majority of others.

So, when you do get back out on the course, there's a good chance those crumpled up gloves at the bottom of your bag will need replacing.

We have a great selection of gloves in-store that are still in their packaging, including FootJoy's brilliant range - the #1 glove in golf!

From all-weather gloves to the softest leather gloves around, get in touch with us below and we'll be happy to help you out.

Thoughts for the course

Home advantage is a phenomenon across most sports. In golf, playing a competition or match on a course you know like the back of your hand has obvious benefits. However, when playing a hole for the hundredth time, it’s easy to fall into the trap of playing it the same way you always have. But, what if there’s another way?

Risk and reward - take on the challenge?

This is where the question of risk and reward comes in.

Does the potential risk of bringing danger into play, be it trees or hazards, outweigh the potential reward?

Next time you’re standing on the tee, weigh up the potential risks and rewards of pulling out your driver. Don’t just think about avoiding doubles and trebles, consider the potential birdie or scoring 3-points. Likewise, if you struggle with a particular tee-shot, think about alternative ways to play that hole.

It’s an interesting thought and one that we’d encourage before you next play. Feel free to send us a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Confident in the challenge?

We’ve all stood on a tee box at some point and struggled to muster up the courage to take out the driver. But, when you do, the key is to commit to the shot at hand, rather than trying to guide the ball down the fairway - something a lot of golfers will be doing after a few months without playing.

Mizuno ST200 Drivers

When opting for the ‘risk’ strategy, you need to have confidence in both your ability to pull off the shot at hand and your weapon of choice. Weighing up the risk and reward in your head is a very different process when you know you’ve got the right tool for the job.

Luckily, there are a few options in Mizuno's range that all offer something different. ST200 is the perfect all-rounder, whilst ST200G offers maximum adjustability and ST200X provides extreme forgiveness. Head to our website to compare them and to watch our review video.
